Skip the guide and go straight to the masterpiece roomCARLA_S
Good way to see large collection. However, most of what you want to see is in one room —ie, the Caravaggio and the Brunilescchi—so you can get away without a guide. The guide was knowledgeable but had a difficult accent and then did not walk me back to where we met, so I had to find my own way out and I got a bit lost. He was in a hurry to meet his next clients.
Well prepared and passionate overview of the collection focused around Carravagio and the highlight of the museum lsuch as for example Gentileschi.
Esperienza da WOWgiorgiot495
Eccezionale visita guidata con un relatore d’eccezione, il prof. Riccardo Lattuada (un pozzo di sapienza) grazie ad American Express. Due ore e mezza di full immersion nella cultura partenopea sapientemente descritta dal prof Lattuada. Esperienza indimenticabile.
